Wow! These kids are so excited and eager to learn with technology. Who knew that technology made that big of a difference to certain people. This could be helpful to any teacher. I could definitely use technology so special education students can learn easy, and it could really make a lot of things easier for them.
How the iPad Works with Academics for Autism
I found the app Intro to Letters. This app can help special needs students learn how to write, pronounce, and hear letters. This video showed how the boy got into learning with an iPad rather than a book or workbook. This also shows how the world is changing, and how we need to accommodate students needs.

I mean, the numbers are constantly increasing! I know we are growing with technology, but I didn't know we were moving at that rate. That is impressive to see how the world is changing and moving up the ladder. We are surely making the next move.
To think that in a few years, we will probably not even know where to get paper and pens. We are going to be strictly technology. I believe we are making an advance, and will never go back. That is why we need to get our students prepared. We as teachers need to get our students to learn how to use computers and iPads.
Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today
I loved how this video was delivered! I liked the part at the end where the teacher was writing on the chalkboard and stated where were the pictures and animations. How can students learn now? They can't by looking at a chalkboard. Now, pictures are worth 1,000 words. As teachers, not only are we grabbing the students attention, but we are getting them prepared for the technology they will have to use in there careers.
All of these videos are making me alert and teaching me how much more the world has advanced with technology. This video is true. I see students all the time with Facebook on their computer, instead of the class material. We spend all of our time on computers, cell phones, or watching T.V., so we need to meet students half-way.
Hello Daisy,
ReplyDeleteNone of your links work so you need to go back into the post and figure out what's wrong. It's probably just a keying error with the HTML code or with the URL.
Also, you included the C4T in this Blog Assignment #3 and it must be a separate blog post titled C4T #1 (or whatever number it is). Please fix both of these problems, other wise we can't give you the credit for your C4T post. As it is, we have you marked for NOT turning it in. I'll make a note of it for Dr. Strange, but you should fix this and email him what was done.
